Chapter Three - Casing up
Welcome to the next step, where you'll see how to assemble the casing for your ByteBoi!
As you probably already notices, you got seven acrylic casings in your box.
These are the ones you should have with you.
The first thing you need to do is to peel off the blue protective layers.
As you can see, each of the acrylic casing parts has a protective layer on both sides that needs to be peeled off. They are not yet fully transparent, but they should be once you finish this step!
First, we're going to put four acrylic casings on the backside of your ByteBoi.
The acrylic panel that you need right now is easy to find - that's the one with all the holes in it.
Please, take the casing shown in the photo below and the circuit board.
Once again, you'll need to pull out the battery from the slot. You need to do this to pull the battery wire through one of the holes.
Once you have pulled out the battery from the slot, take the acrylic casing and place it, so the arrow sign is facing to the right.
Now, pull the battery wires through the casing as shown in the photo below:
Remember: the arrow sign has to be facing right
After you pull the wires through the casing, you can put the battery back in the slot.
As we mentioned before, the battery is connected once you feel the click.
Your ByteBoi should look like this by now:
The photo below shows the acrylic casing you're going to need next. It's the one shaped like a little man.
Beware, the oval head-looking part is going on the right side of your ByteBoi.
You'll need to pull the battery through the square-shaped hole. The speaker will go through the oval-shaped hole.
For reference, look at the photo below:
Everything has to fit perfectly into the acrylic casing.
Now, please take four golden spacers. You'll need to put them in the four small holes on the edges of the casing.
Your ByteBoi should look like this by now:
Please place it in order the oval-shaped hole is placed over the speaker, and the square-shaped one is placed over the battery.
Now, take four bolts (the smaller ones) and a screwdriver. You'll put the bolts in the same holes where you put golden spacers. Take your screwdriver and tighten the casing layer by screwing each small bolt.
Your ByteBoi should look like this by now:
For reference, look at the photo below:
Maybe you'll have some problems with the wires, but use a bit of strength to push them in the holes.
Everything has to fit perfectly into the acrylic casing.
Now, please take four golden spacers. You'll need to put them in the four small holes on the edges of the casing.
Golden spacers should fall through all the casings you've already put on your ByteBoi.
Your ByteBoi should look like this by now:
The next acrylic casing you're going to use is the one with the two holes; one square-shaped and one oval-shaped.
Please place it in order the oval-shaped hole is placed over the speaker, and the square-shaped one is placed over the battery.
Now, take the casing with a few small holes in it. The holes are placed over the speaker.
That was the final casing for the back of the ByteBoi.
Now, take four bolts (the smaller ones) and a screwdriver. You'll put the bolts in the same holes where you put golden spacers. Take your screwdriver and tighten the casing layer by screwing each small bolt.
Don't screw too hard because the casing might break
The first step should be done when you tighten all the small bolts - the back casing is all set!
Your ByteBoi should look like this by now:
Now, let's move to the front side of ByteBoi.
This is the perfect time to take of the protective layer from the screen.
Here you're going to need a casing shown in the photo below:
Place it as shown on the photo. Your buttons and screen should fit perfectly through the casing.
Now, take the one with the two square-shaped holes, and place it to fit the bigger hole on the left, where the four buttons are, and the smaller one on the right, where the two buttons are.
It's time to put button caps on your buttons!
Even though the console can work as-is, it would be much nicer to have a bit of a cleaner finish. The buttons are relatively small and aren't the most comfortable thing to hold. Therefore, we included some more comfortable button caps made out of plastic that will solve this issue.
Take whichever color you want from the ones you've got. We choose to take the black ones for our ByteBoi.
Push them in until they make a clicking sound.
This is how your ByteBoi should look once you put the button caps on:
For the final step in your ByteBoi assembling adventure, take four bolts (the bigger ones) and the screwdriver.
Congratulations, you did a great job! We hope you had lots of fun assembling it.
Finally, it's time to add the last casing layer, and by tightening that one, you'll connect the front side of your ByteBoi.
For the final step in your ByteBoi assembling adventure, take four bolts (the bigger ones) and the screwdriver.
Once again, put the bolts in the holes on the edges of ByteBoi, but make sure not to screw it too hard.
And voila, your ByteBoi is done!
Congratulations, you did a great job! We hope you had lots of fun assembling it.
Optional step
You maybe noticed that you'd got one strap. If you want, you can put it on your ByteBoi.
Here you can see how to do that.
